Location: Stephenville, TX | jbhoot - 2015-07-27 1:42 PM 2008-2012 models. Yes, I saw that. But only "certain" ones. The article states that of the 500,000 vehicles involved, only 193,000 have yet to be fixed (which sounds like a recall has been issued in the past?). I haven't found any articles that are specific on the repairs/issues involved. I've never owned a Dodge, but I'm looking to purchase a new-to-me truck and some of the ones I'm interested in fall within the year/model window but I have no way to tell if they're affected. I was hoping some Dodge owners who may have received specific info from the manufacturer could shed some light here.

| Is there a place you can put the VIN in and find out if your vehicle is included? |

Location: Southern Indiana | I read that it said they will notify via a letter just like you get when you have a recall. My boyfriend has an 08 3500 and he had a recall having to do with the front end steering a couple years ago. The dealership told him his was fine but he made them replace it anyways while it was under warranty. I would say if you have one that cannot be fixed they will offer to buy it back, but if it's fixed your stuck with it. |

My 2500 had a recall a couple of years ago for the same. They replaced the part, but from reading the article it sounds like the earlier recall did not fix the problem |

Location: Bandera, TX | We own three vehicles; a Dodge truck, an old Toyota Corolla and a little Jeep Liberty. All three of them have a recall on them right now. I don't have the time to drive them to big town and get that all fixed. I would have to take three days off to do that. I am so annoyed. |

We have a 2011 and we got the same recall a couple of years ago, but when we took it in they said the parts were on back order and never fixed it. |

| I have an 08 2500. Whom do I call to get info about whether it was recalled, repaired or eligible. This is interesting cause we just bout it in January and it's made a funny sound in the steering column since right after we bought it |
